January 6, 20180 comment

It is only few weeks ago, when Bitcoin reached the magical limit of almost $20.000, which represents the historical maximum so far. Together with the value of Bitcoin, the number of new millionaires is getting higher. And yet, we probably know the first billionaires, who became the Winklevoss brothers due to the cryptocurrency boom.

You probably remember twins from the Social Network movie, as they were suing Mark Zuckerberg for stealing the idea of Facebook. As a result of this case, they finally received $65 million in damages. They decided to invest $11 million in Bitcoin more than 4 years ago. As they stated in of the interviews, they didn’t sell any of it since then.

Experts estimated that exact amount of the Bitcoins they own could be around 100.000. As a result of increase in value, they became billionaires at the beginning of December 2017. According to the current price, they have approximately $1.6 Billion in Bitcoins by now.

According to latest estimations, Bitcoin will grow up to $100.000. But optimists believe, it could reach $1 Million in the future. These are surely nice expectations for the future of Winklevoss brothers.
